NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTS OF BROILER CHICKS Nutrients Starter Grower Finisher (0-10 d.) (11-24 d.) (25-slaughter) Crude Protein, % 23.5 22.0 20.0 ME, MJ/kg 12.6 13.3 13.6 Lys, g/kg 14.0 12.5 10.5 Met + Cys, g/kg 10.0 9.0 8.0 Linoleic Acid, % 1.3 1.2 1.0 Ca, g/kg 10.0 9.0 8.5 P (available), g/kg 5.0 4.5 4.0 NaCl, % 0.3 0.3 0.3
How to express the nutrient requirements? E.g. Setting up the CP content of the starter diet; 7-day-old chick CP req.: 7.3 g/day; DMI: 31 g/d; CP content of the starter diet: CP req./DMI = 7.3 (g/d)/31 (g/d) = 0.235 0.235*100 = 23.5%.
Protein:Energy ratio P:E ratio: protein (g/kg)/energy (MJ/kg). But what type of protein and energy are used? Type of protein and energy used in the given species. Broiler chick (sarter): CP/ME = 235 (g/kg)/12.6 (MJ/kg) = 18.65 g/MJ.
Groups of feeds used in poultry diets Energy sources (60-70%): - cereal grains, Protein sources (30-40%): - legume seeds, - extr. oilseed meals, Supplements: - vitamins, minerals, - amino acids, energy, etc.; Physical form of diets: - mash, crumbles, pellets.
CEREAL GRAINS
Corn - Proportion in Diets: 40-60%, - ME: 14 MJ/kg (the highest), - CP: 10% (the lowest), - Lys: 2.7 g/kg, - EE: 4% (2% Linoleic acid), - taste, - yellow pigments: skin, egg yolk.
Wheat - Proportion in Diets: 10-30%, - CP: 13-14% (the highest), - Pentosans, - less palatable to birds.
Barley - Proportion in Diets - 5-20%, - CF: 5-6%, - ß-glucans, - for pullets.
Oat - ME: 10.7 MJ/kg (the lowest), - CF: 12% (the highest), - good dietetic effect, - EE: 5% (the highest) – 1.5% linoleic acid (!), - for pullets, heavy type birds, geese.
LEGUME SEEDS
Field Peas - proportion in diets: 15-20%, - CP: 20-25% (the lowest).
Horse Bean - proportion in diets: 15%, - CP: 25-30%, - poor in Met (6 g/kg), - antinutritional factors (vicin, convicin, tannin).
Lupins - proportion in diets: 15%, - CP: 35-40% (the highest), - antinutritional factors (lupinin, Lupanin) < 0,08%, - lupinosis (liver damage).
Soybeans - „full-fat” soybeans, - EE: 20% - rich in linoleic and linolenic acids (85 g/kg), - antinutritional factors (trypsin inhibitors) heat treatment is required - energy source.
EXTR. OILSEED MEALS
Extracted Soybean Meal - Proportion in Diets: 10-40%, - CP: 45-50%, - Lys: 30 g/kg, Met: 15 g/kg Met suppl. BV, - antinutritional factors (e.g. tripstrypsin inhibitors) heat treatment is required.
Extracted Sunflower Meal - Proportion in Diets: 5-10%, - CP: 30-45%, - Lys: 11.5 g/kg, Met: 13.5 g/kg Lys suppl. BV, - CF: 12-30% (!), - not in starter diets.
Extracted Rapesed Meal - Proportion in Diets: 10-20%, - CP: 35-40%, - Lys: 10 g/kg, Met: 16 g/kg Lys suppl. BV, - CF: 10-15%, - antinutritional factors (mustard oil, eruic acid, tannic acid), - 00 or 000 types.
Dilution of Energy Density WHEAT BRAN - CP: 16%, - CF: 10-12%, - ME: 10.0 MJ/kg, - pullet diet.
Dilution of Energy Density ALFALFA MEAL - CP: 20%, - CF: 25%, - ME: 7 MJ/kg, - pullet diet.
